Opened to pair with traditional meatballs with sugo over linguine. The long cork in excellent shape came out in one piece, albeit very slowly. The wine pours a medium ruby with orange highlights and orange edges. The nose features red alpine currant, dark raspberry, leather and some forest floor. Initially with excellent acidity and a very good attack, but as sat in the bottle for 40 minutes before eating it broadened out, lost its excellent initial attack, and settled into its old age. Definitely past peak and now on downward slope, yet was very satisfying on this evening with a perfect food pairing. Our last bottle.

Tight when opened. Then decanted for less than 30 minutes which opened the wine beautifully!
